A Week of Service
In last month's e-newsletter, I encouraged readers to make a commitment to serve in their own communities during the upcoming World Service Week.
 Well, here we are. The fifth-annual USANA World Service Week started on Monday. I'm looking forward to helping a few neighbors who are going through some tough times. It's not always easy to ask for help, so my family and I are seeking ways that we can potentially ease a burden or two this week.
Also in last month's newsletter, I asked for you to let me know your plans for World Service Week. One email I received touched my heart, and I thank the author for allowing me to share it with all of you.
"I've thought about how I can possibly make a worthwhile contribution," writes George Steciuk, a longtime USANA Associate, who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
At age 76, George decided to run his first 10K. The next year, he completed a half-marathon. He's run a half-dozen more since then, and this week, at age 84, George plans to run a 5K each day during World Service Week.
A Greater Purpose
As he does regularly, he enjoys getting out in the fresh air to run. But this week's 5Ks will serve a greater purpose.
 Leading up to World Service Week, George shared his plan and asked his friends, family, and colleagues to show their support for him by supporting The USANA Foundation.
He's incorporated his fundraising efforts into the USANA Canada 5K Walkathon, which, by the end of Tuesday had already raised more than $5,000 from 170 individuals.
For the last 25 years, George has been a valued member of the USANA Family. And this week, he's doing something truly special to benefit The USANA Foundation. Here's a great video of George during his first World Service Week 5K on Monday.
Thank you, George, for your support, and for allowing me to share your story. We're all wishing you the best as you complete your daily 5K runs for the Foundation!
And thank you to everyone else who's participating in World Service Week. You're each making a positive impact in the lives of others.
